Guns
Hate speech has become more deadly due to the easy availability of firearms. White supremacists, for instance, use firearms to intimidate, threaten, and attack political opponents. Armed opposition is a characteristic of hate groups and civil paramilitary organizations. These violent, ideological and racist extremists will not be perceived as a threat to the public if guns are removed from these groups.
Hate
Jason Hayes from New Jersey was a member the LGBTQ community and organized a rally in support of LGBTQ civil rights. Nine strangers from Los Angeles came to Washington, DC in support of Jason's cause, and the rally was called DISARM HATE. This bill, which is a companion bill for the Hate Crimes Prevention Act, is now back in Congress. This Act would ban those convicted for misdemeanor hate crime from possessing or purchasing firearms.
Gun laws
A federal bill called the Disarm Hate Act would ban gun buyers who have been convicted of hate crimes from purchasing guns. The Disarm Hate Act will not only apply to hate crimes laws in other states, but also would prohibit those convicted from purchasing guns. The Disarm Hate Act would also require background checks on prospective gun buyers, a requirement that is already required by the FBI.
Extreme risk laws
Extreme risk laws were designed to stop gun homicides and mass shootings. This law gives petitioners the ability to ask a judge for temporary confiscation of a firearm from a dangerous person. Although these laws are not yet widely accepted by the public they are being applied in certain cases by states. These laws have been effective in some cases to prevent mass shootings or gun homicides. Below are some examples.
Pulse nightclub shooting
The Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida, has inspired a new documentary, Disarm Hate, that follows nine LGBTQ people in a national rally to end gun violence and protect LGBTQ civil rights. Harvey Fierstein tells the story. In the film, activists fight the NRA while fighting for gun reform. They challenge America's obsession about gun violence. Here's a look.
Sandy Hook Promise
Several groups, including the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, Gays Against Guns, CeaseFire PA, and the Generation Progress Fund have endorsed the Sandy Hook Promise to Disarm Hate Act. In response to the Pulse nightclub shooting that claimed 49 lives, the legislation was introduced in 2011. The bill was killed in committee. The bill was reintroduced by Sen. Casey this year after the tragic anniversary at Pulse. Although the Disarm Hate Act may not be enacted immediately, members of the community can make steps to advance it.
National Coalition to End Gun Violence

The Coalition has 47 members that are involved in gun violence advocacy, policy work, public education and policy work.

Anti-Defamation League
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has a strong history of fighting hate and extremism around the world. It has also brought to light violent incidents involving white nationalists like the shooting at Poway's Chabad of Poway synagogue. In recent years, the organization has partnered with the U.S. in fighting anti-Semitism within the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum to train law enforcement officers. ADL also played a crucial role in the first White House Conference on Hate Crime. This event sparked enhanced community partnerships with law enforcement agencies.

How To
How to build a Deer Blind
A deer blind is a type of hunting device used to hide from game animals such as deer, elk, etc. It consists of a small enclosure made of wood or canvas, usually covered with branches and leaves. The hunter waits for the animal's arrival and hides in the enclosure. For hunting at night, deer blinds are often used.
There are many types of deer blinds. Some are portable while others are permanent structures. They are made from materials such as plywood, cardboard and plastic.
The most commonly used type of deerblinds is the box blind (also called box stand), which consists of a wooden box with roof and walls. Because they are easy-to-assemble and transport, boxes are very popular.
A tree stand is another form of deer blind. Tree stands are made to look natural, so no one would guess they were there. Tree stands are usually permanently attached to trees.
Ground blinds can also be used, which are very similar to tree stands, but are built into the ground. Ground blinds are usually camouflaged in dirt, rocks or sand. Ground blinds can also be called "ground boxes".
There are several different ways to hunt with a deer blind. Another way to hunt with a deer blind is to simply wait for it to approach. Moving around can be used to scare the animal off. If this is your preferred method, keep quiet and don’t move too often. This could cause the animal to believe you are a predator and make them run.
You will need to locate a spot where you can use the blind. Pick a spot where there is no wind to blow your scent towards the animal. Avoid areas where people often hike.
Make sure that you are able to set up your deer blind correctly. Otherwise, the animal will see you and run away.
